I have found this discussion very interesting. I am naturally left handed but years ago I trained myself to efficiently use the mouse with my right hand. I'm thinking I might be able to use a tablet/pen with my left hand for better fine control while editing.


you can program tablets for left or right hand use, I know you can with a Wacom..

I have used a Wacom tablet for years and would not be with out it. I started with a medium one then went to a large one and kept the med one for use with my laptop and it is still going strong. I now use a small Wacom with my desktop. The biggest difference is that you lose the pen and tablet just like a pen and paper by lifting the pen slightly off the tablet to move the curser to a different place on the screen. No scrolling needed. As I use a mouse with my left hand and write with my right (can write with both hands) I can't use the mouse as good with my right hand hence changing to a tablet. You can also make notes on things easier than having to type. Do you know anyone who has one that you could try or try in a shop. You have to just think of the tablet as your paper and the pen as a pen or pencil and look at the monitor not at the tablet and just play around with drawing to get used to it and there are short cuts on the tablet as well. I use mine to do everything on the computer and for making composites I find I have better control for doing fiddly bits.

Very nice, but such a shame the left strap on her top is twisted on both sides... Once seen you can't not see it..

Since you want a comment, here is one:

The cats are out of wack compared to each other. One seems to be a kitten, the other an adult. The issues:
- No proportion is kept
- Head is way smaller as an adult, despite the kitten being placed behind the adult
- Adult is small compared to the younger version (see head size comment)
- Adult has closed cornea indicating bright lights, the kitten on the other hand indicates low light conditions.

Composite errors:
- Light sources do not match
 - Front right for the cats and high
 - Front right on the woman but also reaches the left side of the dress, revealing details
- All subjects are floating
- Depth of field, sharpness is different cats have extreme details and rest is soft.
 - The female model does not fit the scene. It seems that she is meant as a goddess, princess or sorceress of some sort but represented as mundane. (Clothing and headgear clues)
- Repeated pattern between the cats and the model.
- All objects are floating (composite error)

The title does not reflect the image content. There is no potential conflict or disagreement in the image offered. Your scene is not a desert, but an arid area where only hardy plants thrive. I have been in deserts and trust me there are no plants, just seeds: plants grow and die in a sort period of time. There are no trees, grass or cactus, just sand or stones unless it is an oasis.

Personal appreciation:
I do not like the bleak aspect of this work. I have noted that every time you offer something, this mood seems to be dominant.

Personal note, to you:
You seem to have a heavy chip on your shoulder on many threads and comments, it does not matter where you post.
This comment is a critical analysis of your work using both an AI creation and a composite of your images.
When I look at an image, I look at the 'Wow!', not the details, as I did here. I do not comment when something leaves me cold or is repetitive.

From someone who does not seem to post pictures often and the only ones I have seen are not very good your comments on Curmudgeon's composite I think are totally uncalled for. I have read what Curmudgeon wrote and did not find anything that asked for any comments on his work. He obviously enjoys doing this kind of imaging and while some may not be quite correct (and there are a lot on here which are not quite correct not just his)so does this matter if the person creating a composite has enjoyment in doing so without it being ripped to bits as you have done. Apart from anything else it keeps the mind occupied and the grey matter from stagnating. All I can say is keep on with the good work Curmudgeon... One question for you Rongnongno, do you do any composites as you seem to pull lots of peoples work to bits which can be very demoralising if someone has done their best and are pleased enough with their work to post it..

I also think your personal appreciation comments were totally uncalled for as I take it you do not know Curmudgeon personally given where you both live.

Very good, the only thing I find is the man in front looks to be floating on the top of the grass instead of sinking into it...

I think this version is so much better that the first. Was it me in the picture, the second one would be the one I would like to have printed for me...
